Dear Diary,
So I think I have gone crazy, or I'm dreaming, or somewhere in between. This morning I woke up at about 10:30. Everything was completely quite. I heard nobody. No cars buzing by my house, no one walking around downstairs, and no one talking as they take their morning walk. I walked downstairs and my dog Lily greeted me with her wagging tail. She is a golden retriever, butter colored fur. Then I wondered where my parents were. I looked in every room. The living room? No. The kitchen? No. The den? No. My dads office? No. Their bedroom? No. The master bath? Nope. The deck? Nope. They were no where. And neither was my sister, who came home for the summer. Where in the heck did they go and not tell me? There wasn't a note or anything. I checked the garage.  Both cars were in the garage. Keys still hanging on the keychain. Well at least my dog is here to keep me company. I'm used to being alone. I found I kind of like it. But until today the only place I could go and be alone was my bedroom. Except for when my parents aren't home. In that case I move from my bed to the conch in front of the TV.
I ran upstairs and grabbed my lap top, my cell phone, and one of the many fuzzy blankets I own.
There wasn't a lot to eat in the refrigerator but I grabbed some waffles from the freezer, heated them up, and settled on the couch. I figured my parents were going to come home eventually. But as the hours went by I started to worry. So I picked up my phone and called my mom. It rang once and then went to voicemail, like her phone was off or something. Then I called my father. The same exact thing happened. By then it was about 4:00. My sister had to be home soon. She went to her friends house last night for a sleepover. I waited another hour, nothing. So I decide to call her. It went straight to voicemail. Then it hit me, I haven't had one notification, one text, or one email all day. Where were my friends? I went on facebook. I looked through the whole feed. Then I went back up to the top and tried to refresh it. It wouldn't work. Nothing new in the past couple hours. Where was everybody? By then it was about 5:30. Dinner time. I gave my dog a cup of dog food and then looked in the fridge. There was not much I could make. So I decided I should go out for some dinner myself. I had money left over from working at the pool this summer. I also thought I should look for my sister. I grabbed my purse with my money and hopped on my bike. As I go further and further toward the busy  street I got more and more creeped out. I couldn't hear any cars, at all. I got to the street. It was kind of scary. The traffic lights were still working, but the street was totally empty. I biked toward the town. Everything was empty. There were cars. Some just left in the middle of the street. There were no people. It was like a ghost town. I started thinking of the possibilities of what might have happened. Everyone just got up and died? No there would be dead people around. They all evacuated because of Zombies? Well why would I be the only one left behind? And alive? Maybe a giant twister came and wiped everyone out? I have no idea, but all I know is I am alone. I don't know how alone, or why, but I am.
Scared out of my mind, Scarlett.
